A Joint Venture Agreement is an agreement between two or more parties to embark on a particular project. A joint venture is simply a partnership between two or more individuals or businesses who intend to accomplish a specific task or business goal. The joint venture is an entity which is separate and distinct from the parties. This means that the parties maintain their separate identities while participating in the joint venture. The joint venture can registered as a partnership or a limited liability company and can terminate at a specific period or upon the accomplishment of the desired purpose or goal.
This document shares similar features with a Partnership Agreement. However, the major distinguishing factor is that while the partnership is an ongoing and continuing enterprise, the joint venture is usually created for a specific purpose and terminates upon the fulfillment of that project.
In addition to this, unlike a partnership, the parties in a joint venture agreement maintain a separate and distinct personality different from the joint venture.
